Went to WFB while I had in hand (One Note) 500,000VND asking for them to exchange it for me…….
Bank manager had HUGE SMILE on her face and flat out told me give it a few more days and get an appt to exchange it, you will be very-happy and if you have any Dinar bring that too….
When you come back she confirmed that WFB is the lead bank and that they simply await treasury GO approval that is supposed to be coming in days.

It's important for you to understand Aki's banks are going to be following American International banking laws. It's not like you can take your dinars and deposit it in these private banks that will represent the CBI. No, because they have to follow American banking laws.
The lower notes are high high priority for security. Nobody sees them. Nobody knows where they're at. High, high priority. IMO our military guards them...Those lower notes are in position just like everything else is for the monetary reform to finish.
I will show you the thousands of places where Aki's type of bank will be. Those are the CBI private banks where you can exchange the IQD for whatever currency you want. If you're at a bank in Michigan it's converted to American dollars. If you're in Australia it's converted to Australian currency and so forth and so forth...For everybody outside of Iraq it will be super easy because of all of these exchange centers they are setting up.
Iraqi PM discuss regional challenges with Arab diplomats
Shafaq News/ Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani held talks on Thursday with Arab ambassadors and diplomatic mission heads in Baghdad, outlining Iraq’s position on the region’s unfolding crises and developments.
The PM’s media office announced in a statement that Al-Sudani highlighted the “grave turning points” in the Middle East since October 7, describing the repercussions as unprecedented.
Addressing the Syrian crisis, the Prime Minister revealed that Iraq had been in dialogue with Arab leaders and international partners, presenting a working paper focused on respecting Syria’s sovereignty and the free will of its people. He also underscored the importance of Arab states supporting Syria’s sovereignty over its territories.
The proposal also emphasized “safeguarding the rights of minorities and the ethnic, religious, and social diversity that Syria enjoys.”
Expressing concerns about the resurgence of ISIS elements in Syria, Al-Sudani raised alarms about the potential for repeating the attacks on minorities and ethnic groups by terrorist groups. “Attacks on Syria’s ethnic and religious diversity would have regional repercussions, especially in Iraq, given the presence of holy sites that could be targeted to incite discord and violence,” he warned.
The Iraqi Prime Minister reassured the gathering of Iraq’s readiness to confront such threats, affirming that “the remnants of the defeated ISIS do not pose a threat within Iraq.”
In the same context, Al-Sudani emphasized Iraq’s robust partnerships with Arab and allied nations, underpinned by extensive coordination efforts. “This has been reinforced by a plan implemented two years ago to fortify and secure Iraq’s borders with Syria, supported by a broad national consensus in favor of the government and its political program,” the statement concluded.
